I’ll be there. I won’t get a flat..I won’t get a flat…. I won’t get a flat….

I do have a brand new 235/85R16 e-rated (10ply) M/S spare you can borrow if you're really worried.... It's on an OEM 16x6 0 offset alloy cruiser rim.... It's pretty much invincible (ran the other four hard for years and never had a single issue).

I spent a day swapping tires on my lawn tractor, it sucked.

Rears weren't so bad but the fronts were too small for my ratchet straps.

Almost bought one of those manual tire changing tools because I was getting so many flats.

I do a lot of DIY, but tires are one of those things I always just paid to have done. That and exhaust work, haha. Gotta pick your battles.

Yeah tires I never do, except for the lawn tractor that day. I was feeling cheap.

Kinda funny, bought the bigger rear tires off Lowe's online. Free shipping over 100 dollars.
Bill came to $99.60 or so

So I added one 50cent sheet of sandpaper to the order...which they packaged and shipped separately.
Suck it Lowe's.

Exhaust...feck. Don't make me think about it.

Thanks for the offer. Hopefully I won’t need to but I might need to use someone’s spare. I’ll bring my tiny spare too

I’m out sorry, I am working nights doing emergency repairs for double time all week.

Also Just been threw 8 hours training on how not to discuss my job or work on social media so that’s all I can say for now.

No worries man; gotta pay the bills somehow.

@seapotato and @Westcoast78 , I'll still be there at 9am if you guys are still into this.... There are lots of options in that area; so we can just figure it out in the morning.

@Diesel Cruiserman : Hey Rob, are you free to join us?

"open the pod bay doors Hal, close the pod bay doors Hal." LOL
I have hundreds of hours wrapped up in bull**** courses too! Hahaha. It was nice that i could charge my time out to it though!

 

[GTSSportCoupe]

Looks like @audaciousduo may be able to join us also.

I reached out to him. Not sure if he has to work or not. Still got the bum shoulder. I know
he wants to go. Wish I was home, I’d be right there.

Thanks Jon, you're right, I forgot about his collar bone. Another time.

 

[seapotato]

Had hoped to get out but, too much to do today before I head back in to work.

 

[GTSSportCoupe]

No worries, everyone else is cancelling last minute too. Except maybe westcoast. I think it's the rain, lol. Ah well, I'm good at solo runs.

Ha, rain doesn't help I'm sure. Had a bit of a long week

I did at least finally look at whether the 40 series skid plate I have could be made to fit the green truck.
Maybe, but I think I'd rather start fresh. I'll grab some steel this week so I can eliminate one excuse...

 

[GTSSportCoupe]

Westcoast78 and I had a great run. Rain just added to the adventure. Audaciousduo was delayed, and tried to find us unsuccessfully, but had his own good run anyhow. So many fun trails in that area. Will plan another run and hopefully more can make it.

We had an awesome time. Thanks for being our tour guide Nick!

I've got 4-235/85/16's e-rated. Come have a look, get them out of my yard!

Pics?

Pics?

I was too busy navigating and driving to take any action shots. But here are the couple I did take when we stopped just on regular logging roads.

I also meant to thank @Westcoast78 for bringing donuts! (He brought a dozen assuming there'd be more than one other person showing up, lol). Anyhow, we made a pretty good dent in them.

We should’ve taken more pics. Me and my daughter had a blast, I think she’s hooked on wheelin! She slept the whole way home. Made it so hard to get her to sleep at bedtime, lol
